Been running RebornOS in a VM in VirtualBox, and been mostly loving it. I specifically wanted an Arch based distro that allowed me to use LXQt off the bat. I had already tried Manjaro on another computer and I still enjoy Manjaro. I've been using *buntu since 2007.

1. The Reborn OS installer is top notch. Full GUI, hand-pick the apps you want, along with the desktop environment. Couldn't be better
2. While enabling Snap and Flatpak via CLI is easy enough, the default Pamac doesn't support them for GUI installations. I did manage to swap the Pamac app for another one (lolz the same one used in Manjaro), but obviously uninstalling Pamac within Pamac didn't work. Did get the help of the Reborn OS forums, and they've been great
3. Looks like VirtualBox guest additions are in the AUR and was installed by default, which is really nice!
4. On the flip side, enabling shared folders (VirtualBox feature) was harder in Reborn OS than in Debian based distros based on my experience. Once it's done, it's "set and forget", but still, seemed to be more challenging than necessary (can't blame Reborn for that, it seems to be the process for Arch distros as guest)

I'll admit that LXQt is less user friendly than Gnome or KDE. I was looking for the sweet spot between light-weight for use in a VM yet still more feature-rich than a window manager like OpenBox. I typically use Qt apps more than Gtk apps, so LXQt was the obvious choice...and Manjaro doesn't seem to have an install disc that ships with LXQt.

First time trying this. Very pleasantly surprised. The installer works fine. Can choose desktop environment. Its preinstalled with Firefox and Pamac and other tools.
Pros
-easy install
-install went smoothly
-come nice clear selection menus during install to customize it
-light OS
-the RebornOS Fire app is great easy way to install apps via a simple GUI

cons
-I have to nitpick to find some cons..but here a few small ones
-a bit spartan but this is not a major issue as you can customize it
-the wallpapers as very basic
-the environment is not as aesthetically beautiful as EndeavourOS but functionally Reborn great.

overall a 9/10

I liked arch based systems and was using Manjaro, then I got a an AMD Zerphrus 14 with the AMD GPU in Dec of 2022. I tried to install Manjaro with no joy, and several other distros.

Reborn OS had no issue, and then I discovered the other utilities for optimization, the multiple gui's, etc. and I found the installation experience to be very pleasant and the interface very well done.

I would highly recommend Reborn OS for those who are moving from "arch like" to arch...

I would like to thank the team for their hard careful work.

Cheers
